Sports Mapping Project Completed
Spatial Consultants Ltd has just completed a mapping project for Lancashire Sports Partnership. This project involved the production of a series of 5 digital maps illustrating the location of clubs, schools and sporting facilities, together with participation rates across the county. The maps was created using data from LSP, Sport England, ONS and OpenStreetMap. James Ventham (LSP's Marketing and Information Manager) was delighted with the results, saying...
"We had a huge amount of data regarding sports and physical activity across Lancashire, but didn't have the technical expertise in-house to view it or make sense of it. Spatial Consultants Ltd. managed to interpret the data and develop a series of maps that will provide our partnership with valuable insight into sports participation and facilities. With our new maps my team and our partners will be able to make informed decisions on developing sport across our county. Spatial Consultants Ltd. worked quickly and professionally to get their heads round our complex data and working with Sport England at a national level were able to represent our local data in an efficient way. Our restricted budget for the project could have caused problems, but Spatial Consultants use of innovative open source maps meant it kept the cost down whilst maintaining a high quality of product. An excellent service."
